Drawing inspiration from Norman McLaren's groundbreaking animated film “Synchromy”, “Robot Pavlov Sputnik” reimagines machine art from the digital age. Combining archival imagery, animation, and abstract visual rhythms, Oliver Hockenhull creates a vibrant meditation on technology, communication, space exploration, and collective consciousness.
